c11.s6.t1.2

Tradition associates the Niṣadhas with King Nala whose story is narrated in the Mahābhārata. In its turn, King Nala is associated with the region of Narwar, a district of the old Gwalior State, which is full of ancient archaeological sites. The Narwar region may therefore possibly be identified with the Niṣadha janapada of the Purāṇas.
